Rudolph, Wrong Message?
I was watching Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, and I could not help but come away with the feeling that Ruolph was a sap.
In the beginning, when he's nothing but a misfit, Santa has the balls to go up to Donner (Rudolph's Dad) and tell him, "Donner, you should be ashamed."
His girfriend's father forbids her to be seen with him.
The other reindeer don't let him play in their games.
Then, when they realize he's the man, and the whole show is on the line they ask him to guide the sleigh and he says, "It would be an honor, Sir."
This is telling all the kiddies that you can mistreat anyone all you want and they'll still go to bat for you. Rudolph should have laughed in the fat man's face and made him aware of the new price.
